The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.

Paris: Take a dreamy jaunt around the city of romance. Fall in love with landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Champs-Élysées and Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Beaujolais: Be a VIP at the epic Contiki Château and fill up on a banquet of classic French dishes and wines. Ooh la la!
Beaujolais Wine Region: Set within the rolling hills of the Beaujolais wine region, the legendary Contiki Château special stay has been wowing travellers for decades. From the luxe bar to the elegant new bedrooms, our Château is the perfect backdrop to long summer days lounging by the pool, capped off with French feasts, local wine and dancing the night away in ‘La Cave.’
Beaujolais: Clear out the cobwebs and get in touch with you zen side with a guided yoga session on the sweeping lawns of the château.
Beaujolais: Enjoy a French-style picnic while admiring the gorgeous Beaujolais countryside.
Barcelona: Combat boots at the ready, folks! Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas are so cool, you won’t know what to photograph first!
Arles: Visit the historic city of Arles, famous for inspiring the paintings of Van Gogh.
Monaco City: Walk in the footsteps of Grace Kelly at the Royal Palace and see the Monte Carlo Casino (where the car park looks like a Fast & Furious set).
Nice: Your chance to learn the art of fragrance at a French perfume house. You know it makes scents! (soz).
Venice: Speed across the lagoon to the aqueous island of Venice.
Rome: Stroll around the Italian capital, ticking off some sights on your bucket list!
Amalfi Coast: Definitely one for the bucket list. Your chance to view one of Europe’s active volcanoes from a distance.
Corinth Canal: The world’s deepest canal is an epic sight. It was carved through the rock, as a link between the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
Athens: Walk in the footsteps of Gods and Goddesses, as you take a guided tour around the Ancient Greek monuments and explore the Parthenon temple.
Cairo: Time to take to the sky. Cairo, here we come!
Cairo: Needs no introduction! Marvel at the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx. #bucketlist
Cairo: The world's largest archaeological museum complex is no joke. You'll find 100,000 artifacts here (including King Tut's ENTIRE treasure collection). You don't wanna miss this one...
Aswan: Jump on a traditional Felucca boat and sail down the famous river.
Luxor: Stroll through the mighty mortuary temple built during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut. Don't forget to bring your camera! You'll definitely want to capture the perfectly symmetrical poles of the Porticos. This is also the spot where the Beautiful Festival of the Valley (celebrated to meet your ancestors) used to take place back in the middle ages.
Luxor: Grab your camera and explore one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites. See the tomb of Tutankhamun from the outside (with the option to add on exploring it from the inside!) and many other Egyptian pharaohs.

Târgu Mureș: Visit the national monument in Transylvania (and also the inspiration for Dracula's castle) - which is now a museum with art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. And of course, you can take a look inside if you'd like!
Hopfgarten im Brixental: Join us in the cute lil Austrian Tyrol village of Hopfgarten, where you’ll find Haus Schöneck by Contiki. Next to one of the world’s largest ski regions, this traditional property has had a fresh facelift with all the modcons. We’re talking on-site sauna, Schnapps bar, communal lounge area, a shuttle to the main gondola. Hungry after a day on the slopes? Chow down on some warming locally sourced meals in our dining room.
Munich: We'll make a stop at a traditional Bavarian ‘Bier Halle’. Grab your Contiki crew and a beer. Prost!
Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site: Take a somber but impactful visit to the site of a World War II concentration camp in Munich.
Prague: Walk through the winding cobbled streets and head up into the fairytale-like Castle District for panoramic city views.
Berlin: Heads up culture vultures. Here’s your chance to check out the longest open-air gallery in the world.

Itinerary
Why settle for a fleeting vacation when you can traverse Europe from London to Istanbul, take in the French Riviera, the wonders of Switzerland, and even the mystical landscapes of Egypt—all in one sweeping 45-day trip? The 'Ultimate European' tour is crafted for young travelers with an adventurous spirit and plenty of time to immerse themselves in over two dozen destinations across four countries. With seamless flights and ferries included, you’ll journey from the vibrant streets of Amsterdam to the ancient ruins of Rome, and from the cultural riches of Romania to the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean. The itinerary weaves together iconic cities, hidden gems, and a finale that brings you face-to-face with the pyramids of Egypt. Group travel means new friendships and shared stories, while accommodations, transport, and meals are fully organized. The unique edge? This tour package covers the breadth of Europe—and beyond—in one epic adventure, making it a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.
day 1London to Paris
Welcome to the first day of the best trip of your life - we're calling it early! After a few pleasantries in London we'll get the show on the road with Paris in our sights. A few hours in and your jaws are on the floor already. These chalk cliffs that edge the English coastline are known as the White Cliffs of Dover, the first of many natural beauties we'll see on our trip. After we ferry across the English Channel for France we'll arrive in Calais, where we will pass through the World War I battlefields in the Valley of the Somme. Kicking off night one, we arrive in none other than the lust-worthy Paris. You have the chance to see the Eiffel Tower tonight, but save some of the views for the city tour tomorrow!
